Jennifer Garant Dollnation Serving Plate


What makes the Dollnation Serving Plate so adorable is of course the artwork on the plate. It features a large woman in a polka dot long coat, with a large crew of matching dalmatian dogs that she is walking.

The woman is peering right smack at you as if she was caught by a stranger in a photograph unaware that her photo was being taken.

The artwork is adorable, and is gives us an impression that big is beautiful, and Jennifer Garant pulls it off marvelously in her artwork.

The subject of the plate has a lovely matching polka dot border that matches the dalmatian theme going on. The plate itself is serving size, and is 8 inches in diameter.

It's meant to serve smaller finger foods such as pies, cakes, crackers, and anything else you could come up with. The plate itself is microwave and dishwasher safe.

I personally suggest you hang it from the wall though alongside the rest of the Fat Lady Serving Plates. The plates will only go up in value as they become more and more scarce, and believe me, they are adorable enough to sell out quickly.

The plate feature the artwork of Jennifer Garant, but the plate itself is made by Roscher.

Where To Buy:

Dollnation Serving Plate can be found at Marshall's for $2.99. If you cannot find it there though you can pick it up online at eBay for much more money (starting at $9.99), so definitely see if you can find it at Marshall's first.

A Beautiful Find! Jennifer Garant Faux Paws Serving Plate


I smile every single time I come across artwork by Jennifer Garant. The artist manages to put together some of the most beautiful and unique images I have ever seen. What I love about her work though is how she is able to portray big, as beautiful.

I came across her work last year, and have since been a fan. I have also searched out her collections online, and in stores.

My most recent find was a set of Fat Lady serving dishes. One of those serving dishes is called Faux Paw. The dish itself is 8 inches in diameter, and is dishwasher and microwave safe. I however placed the dishes on the wall, because they are far too adorable to be used to serve food on. Not to mention the fact that they will eventually become collector's pieces like her Fat Chef kitchen collection.

The Faux Paw Serving Plate is one of my favorite plates in the set. It features a larger than life woman wearing a leopard fur coat. Her large unique hat matches her fake fur coat, and a bunch of little black dogs follow her at her feet. The small dogs also are wearing little dog coats, which of course match her coat. Fake leopard.

The plate just makes me smile because it looks like a woman being caught on camera unknowingly going about her everyday business. As if the paparazzi are following her; and why wouldn't they? She is fantastic!

The border of the plate matches the theme of the large woman and her little dogs. It features a clever border with a leopard design to match her coat and her dogs coats. The warm hues of amber, and yellow give the classy serving plate a nice fall feel, which I love.

The Faux Paw artwork can be found sold as prints, place mats, serving plates, and more. Finding them though is the tough part, and a google hunt will take you to what you need.

I found this particular plate at Marshall's for only $2.99. The same plate however is being sold online for nearly $16.00, so if you have a Marshall's nearby, make sure you stop in to get these plates while they last.

The Faux Paw plate was made by Roscher, and the artwork by Jennifer Garant.

The plate is a must have for any Jennifer Garant fan, and it would also make an excellent gift for dog lovers or those who like leopard themed decor. My opinion though is that anyone who gazes upon the artwork on the plate will want it.
